For obvious reasons I didn’t have time to get any sewing done this week. I know, you are disappointed in me, right?? My superpowers are not what you thought!  All that lifting heavy items and destroying my knees took away my superpowers. 

At work on Monday I got asked how my back felt, and I told them, “My knees hurt so bad I didn’t feel my back hardly at all!”  Ah, the lovely things that come with getting older and your body getting back at you for how carelessly you treated it during it’s youth.

I have my sewing area set back up, so hopefully I can get something done this week. We’ll see how it goes. It’s going to be a busy week again, so I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to get anything done.  We’ve got our two builder friends here working on the house, and since they are from my hometown they have to stay overnight. That means I have 2 more mouths to feed for dinner and I have to have lunches for them.

So creativity is on hold for a little bit.  In a few weeks I have an entire week off, that I will hopefully use to sew up the kids’ fall wardrobes and make Halloween costumes and baby presents and overall be quite productive.  Until then…it will probably be sparse around here.  Maybe.

At least I have something pretty to show.  My lovely dahlias are blooming in the garden.  There are a few of the new ones that haven’t quite popped up yet, and I can’t wait to see how they turn out, too. 🙂
